After receiving the empress's praise, Shen Miao's eyes were shining, and she stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have recently made something more interesting than this astronomical telescope, do you want to take a look?"

More interesting than an astronomical telescope?

The little empress was slightly stunned, then showed curiosity and asked, "What is it?"

Shen Miao said, "You'll know when you go and see it."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he thought for a few seconds, looked at Lin Wan'er behind him, and said, "Call Shang Xiu and go to the Engineering Academy with me."

It's been almost a month since the last time I hung out of the palace.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and everything is recovering, it's time to go out for a walk, just an outing.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Wan'er saluted and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Miao's smile became brighter.

Wu Mingkong turned his head and saw Shen Miao smiling very happily, and asked, "You seem to be happy to see Fang Xiu accompanied."

"Hmm!"

Shen Miao didn't hide her inner thoughts, nodded heavily, and said, "Fang Xiang is also going, the possibility that I can get the silver is even greater!"

「......」

When the little empress heard this, she was slightly stunned.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "You are really sincere."

Shen Miao said, "My father taught me since I was a child that I can't lie, especially in front of His Majesty."

"That's right, it seems that the Shen Qing family has put a lot of effort into teaching people."

Wu Mingkong nodded and asked, "Then you tell me, what do you want the silver for?"

Shen Miao raised her head slightly and said, "Naturally, it's to create something more valuable!"

Wu Mingkong said: "Last time, Fang Xiang didn't allocate money to build a workshop for you, in addition to the silver allocated to you by the Engineering Academy, it stands to reason that it should be enough."

Shen Miao shook her head lightly and said, "I originally thought it would be enough, but when I really started to do things and build, I realized that it was far from enough."

The silver allocated to her by Fang Xiu and the Engineering Academy added up to three or four thousand taels.

In addition, she also has her own workshop, and the money used to recruit craftsmen is the money of the engineering academy, and she doesn't need to pay it at all.

That's not enough, what the hell is she going to build?

Steam locomotives?

The little female emperor thought about it, and it seemed that only the steam locomotive project cost three or four thousand silver, which was still far from enough.

"What are you going to build?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Shen Miao and asked curiously.

Shen Miao said, "Airplane!"

"Airplanes?"

Wu Mingkong's face was dazed, it was the first time she had heard of this term.

"Isn't the so-called airplane just a flying chicken?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, I heard Shen Miao explain:

"The so-called airplane is a steam locomotive in the sky, which can carry people into the sky and transport people to a certain place at a very fast speed!"

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Isn't this a hot air balloon?"

Hot air balloons, she is still very familiar.

The launch of the first hot air balloon in the Daqian Empire was witnessed by her.

Shen Miao heard the word "hot air balloon", and her little head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, no, hot air balloons are completely different things from airplanes, the speed of hot air balloons is very slow, and they can't fly very high, let alone fly very fast, and the direction of flight can't be controlled by themselves, it all depends on the direction of the wind, which has a lot of restrictions.

But the plane is completely different, after having the plane, as long as it is an open space and the weather is not too bad, you can take off, from Chang'an to Jinnan, it only takes two or three hours at most!"

Hearing this, the little empress showed surprise.

She really couldn't imagine what it would be like to go from Chang'an to Jinnan in just two or three hours.

"The plane you're talking about, big

How long will it take?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Shen Miao and asked.

Shen Miao was about to open her mouth to answer, when she heard a familiar voice not far away.

"Chickens? What chicken?"

Fang Xiu came to Wu Mingkong's side and asked curiously.

Wu Mingkong replied casually, "Flying chicken."

"Planes?!"

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, then looked at Shen Miao with a shocked face, and said, "You built all the planes?"

Shen Miao waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Not yet, but there is a plan to build it."

"If you want to build an airplane, you have to spend a lot of silver."

Fang Xiu looked at Shen Miao and said with a serious face.

When Shen Miao heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Fang Xiang thinks so too, that's great!"

What's too good?

Fang Xiu's face was blank.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Shen Miao say: "I plan to ask the imperial court for more silver, buy more materials, recruit more craftsmen, and strive to build an airplane in half a year, as long as it can fly."

「......」

Fang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't this minister just allocate you a sum of money some time ago."

Shen Miao said, "The silver is not enough at all, and I have used it to make another thing!"

Fang Xiu asked, "What is it?"

Shen Miao said, "When you get to the place, you will know!"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at the little empress beside him.

With a smile on the delicate face of the little empress, she said, "Just go out for a walk."

"The courtier listens to Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu nodded and said no more.

Half an hour later.

Fang Xiu, Wu Mingkong, Lin Wan'er, and a group of guards appeared on a mountain not far from Chang'an.

It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is more like a hill, and it is no more than 300 meters by sight.

Fang Xiu stood in the open space a few hundred steps away from this hill, looked at Shen Miao in front of him, and said, "It's all here, it's time to tell Your Majesty and True Appearance, what did you create?"

Shen Miao nodded, her little face was raised, and she said proudly, "What I made this month is called paragliding!"

Paragliding?

It was the first time the little empress had heard of this word, and her face showed curiosity, and she asked, "What is paragliding?"

Shen Miao explained, "The so-called paragliding is ......."

I said a lot in a row.

The little empress doesn't seem to understand.

Seeing this, Shen Miao said, "Oh, the students will go up and demonstrate it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will understand!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go up the mountain.

"Where's your paraglider?"

At this time, Fang Xiu suddenly asked.

Shen Miao said, "At the top of the mountain!"

Fang Xiu nodded, looked at the guards behind him, and ordered, "Go to the top of the mountain and see an object that looks like a large paper kite, move it down!"

"Yes, Fang Xiang!"

The guards received the order and were about to go up the mountain.

When Shen Miao heard this, she was stunned.

It took a while to come back to his senses and say loudly, "You take the paraglider off, so what am I flying?"

Fang Xiu said with a straight face, "Naturally, he doesn't fly."

Shen Miao was stunned again, and then said, "Why don't you let me fly!"

Fang Xiu said, "Shen Shilang is just your daughter, if you fall to your death, will he still be alive? The imperial court is employing people, and the prime minister doesn't want a talented and virtuous household servant to go home because of his daughter's death!"

"In addition, there is another reason, your talent is not bad, and I don't want to see you die young!"

When Shen Miao heard this, she was instantly unhappy, and said loudly, "Why do you say that about me! Who said you would die if you used a paraglider?"

Fang Xiu said, "The risk is too great, it's not necessary."

Shen Miao looked unconvinced, and retorted loudly: "Who said that the risk is too great, according to the records in the book, as long as the weather is sunny and windy, paragliding is not dangerous at all!"

Fang Xiu said: "What is recorded in the book is completely different from the actual operation, you have not flown with a paraglider before, how do you know that there is no danger?"

Shen Miao's face was stubborn, and she said firmly, "I just know!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "In this case, the original appearance clearly tells you that the original appearance does not allow you to use this paraglider, there is no reason!"

When Shen Miao heard this, her angry little face turned red.

In order to create this paraglider, she did an unknown number of experiments and changed an unknown number of materials, thinking that she would be able to show her face in front of him and Her Majesty the Empress today.

Who would have thought that before he could fly, he would be rejected by Fang Xiu!

"I don't care, I'm going to fly!"

Tears appeared in Shen Miao's eyes, but she stubbornly didn't let it fall, and strode up the mountain.

After all, he is still a half-old child, and he has been spoiled since he was a child, and he has some normal tempers.

Fang Xiu wouldn't bother with a child, but for the sake of safety, he still raised his voice and scolded, "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of Your Majesty and the True Appearance! If you dare to take another step forward, from now on, you will never be allowed to enter the Engineering Academy, and your workshop will be taken back!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Shen Miao really stopped, turned around, her eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop falling.

A pitiful and aggrieved look.

Side.

Wu Mingkong was in a state of confusion throughout the whole process.

She had no idea what a glider was or what the danger would be.

Therefore, there was no interjection in the whole process.

However, she knew that Fang Xiu must have his own reasons for doing this.

As long as she doesn't speak.

"You're bullying me!"

Seeing that Fang Xiu was so tough, Shen Miao finally cried, sat on the ground, aggrieved and sad, and said, "Woo..... You're so old and powerful that you actually bully a child!"

"Press, according to the seniority, I should still call you uncle, woo...... How can an uncle bully like you and bully his juniors, woo......

「......」

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

On the side, the little empress and Lin Wan'er who were watching the excitement heard Shen Miao's words, but they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Fang Xiang, what do you say you are doing bullying a child at your age."

Wu Mingkong's eyebrows were full of smiles, fanning the flames beside him.

「......」

Fang Xiu looked helpless, looked at Shen Miao, and said, "If you want to test fly a paraglider, there is no problem, but you can't experiment yourself, you have to send trained guards to go up."

In addition, it is important not to fly down from such a high mountain for the first time, and it is better to study the parachute before studying paragliding, so that even if there is an accident on the way to fly, you can rely on the parachute to fall."

When Shen Miao heard this, she was stunned at first, then she rubbed her crying red eyes, looked at Fang Xiu with a surprised look, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know so much?"

Fang Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "The original phase is the prime minister of the Great Qian, why do you say that the prime minister knows so much?"

Shen Miao thought for a few seconds and said, "You have also read that book of Zhu Fengxuan?"

Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "You're right, not only have you seen it, but you also know more about paragliding than you, and you know the hidden dangers in it, so you won't let it fly.

It's for your own good, even if you're not afraid of death, you should think about your father, your mother, and if you die on a paraglider and can't study airplanes, wouldn't it be a big pity."

When Shen Miao heard this, she felt a little reasonable,

I began to think about it seriously.

This time.

Fang Xiu continued: "Besides, at this stage, paragliding is of little significance to my great cadre, far inferior to parachute, if you can make a parachute with stable performance, my great dry can train new soldiers on the basis of the giant hot air balloon, and the two armies can play a miraculous effect when fighting!"

These statements are well-founded and convincing.

After Shen Miao heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said, "That's so reasonable!"

Fang Xiu said: "Since you also think that what Benxiang said is reasonable, don't make trouble, Benxiang will send someone to send the paraglider you developed back to the Engineering Academy, and from now on, you will start to develop a parachute."

"Hmm!"

Shen Miao nodded at first, then thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Then what about the silver I used to study the plane?"

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Wait until you understand the parachute research first!"

When Shen Miao heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a few seconds, but she still chose to be silent.

Side.

Seeing this, the little empress knew that this little farce was over, so she stepped forward and said in a low voice, "So I came out this time, did I come to a lonely place?"

I've been with Fang Xiu for a long time.

Some inexplicable words that Fang Xiu often hung on her lips, she had also learned, and they would pop up from time to time.

For example, this sentence came to a loneliness, but she listened to what Fang Xiu said, and found it interesting, so she remembered it in her heart.

When Fang Xiu heard the little empress say such things, he always felt a little in a trance.

After being silent for a few seconds, he replied, "It's not lonely, this place is beautiful, and it's not bad to camp here."

As he spoke, he looked at the guards beside him and said, "Take a walk around here to see if there are any sick and dead cows, and buy them for more silver."

When the guard heard this, he was stunned at first, but immediately understood, and said, "Yes! Fang Xiang!"

After saying that, he took a few people, turned around and left, and went to look for the "sick and dead cow".

Fang Xiu looked at the other people and ordered, "Go and collect some firewood, and then go to the nearby market to buy some spices, vegetables and fruits, and if there is chicken and mutton, buy some."

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Fang Xiang is mutton, beef, and spices, so you plan to show off your cooking skills here?"

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Why not?"

When the little empress saw his serious appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The gentleman is far away from cooking.

What's more, it's someone like Fang Xiu.

Even if she believed that Fang Xiu would be able to go to heaven one day, she didn't believe that Fang Xiu would be able to cook!
